(Or in this case, starlight to my eyes?)<br /><br />I&#39;m going to be doing several articles on this subject and expand on it, but to answer your question now, the best all-around seed that attracts the most species is black-oil sunflower seeds. They are really high in fat and easy for birds to manipulate. And because they have thinner shells (or coats), there is less mess.<br /><br />NOTE: These seeds are different from the regular striped sunflower seeds which are bigger and have a thicker shell.<br /><br />So black-oil sunflower seeds are my #1 choice. You can usually find it at Target, Walmart, or even Lowe&#39;s. Try to avoid buying the &quot;prettier&quot; seed mixes, because many of these are just full of fillers that most of the songbirds will just throw out and make a mess on the ground under your feeder.<br /><br />I also forgot to mention that if you have a group of families who are interested in the project, you can get a discount on the price.
